Bio

Jeames Williams (Lee EmCee) was born to Brisbane in 1989. Music has been a major influence throughout his life. Throughout school years, he learnt to read & write music & studied various musical instruments. By grade 10, hip hop was further introduced, and a new chapter was born...

Receiving the nickname 'LeeBoy' at school; when Jeames would skip class, to avoid getting caught he would wear an under shirt with "LEE" in bold writing. One of his friends starting calling him LeeBoy and the name has stuck with him ever since.

After leaving school, freestyling was just the beginning. Lee started writing rhymes, sights set on making music with true meaning behind the lyrics. Before going any further a name was needed; Lee EmCee.

Lee EmCee is in tune with the world around him and defines his own style of positive hip hop. Lee rhymes words of meaning, in a story like manner with hidden messages and smart lyrics. He writes of family, friends, life, the good and the bad, past experiences and tales of the heart.

Even though Lee isn't a battle rapper, he entered 'Megiddo Street Battles' in 2009, placing 3rd for his first appearance on the scene. Lee also made 2 appearances in the Real Talk Battle League.

In 2010, Lee EmCee released his first MixTape consisting of 11 songs! Featuring artists: Australian MC’s “Crakky” & “Focus”, American MC “Praverb The Wyse”, & Scotland MC “Werd”. Hit song "Love Letter" made it to the Top 40 Hip Hop 2011 on OurStage.

Hit song "A Demon Within" was immediately the crowd favourite! "A Demon Within" landed #20 on the Triple J Unearthed charts in May 2013; also "The Way We Act" landed #16 on the Charts in August 2013. Thanks to the request of fans, both songs have been played live on Triple J Unearthed Radio!

In late 2013, Lee upgraded his home studio to accommodate the AKAI MPK49, which has helped him to start work on some instrumentals for future albums. Lee loves digging through old Jazz, Funk & Soul Vinyls to find the sounds he needs to create some classic hip hop beats. Lee’s beats have not been publicised yet but expect to hear some classic samples.

In June 2014, Lee released song “Giving Up” which is to be featured on his upcoming EP (release 2015). In December 2014 the song was uploaded to Triple J Unearthed and placed #3 in the Hip Hop Charts.
